League

How are the leagues in the world linked? Is there a criteria used to determine which league is the best?
Q. How come we say that the Barclays English Premiership is the best league in Europe (and in the world)? What measuring stick are using? And are we not wrong in so saying, since the most prestigious tournaments in Europe (like the UEFA Champions League) have not been won most by an English team? I think Spanish teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona) have contributed most to European football than English teams. Does money have anything to do with the whole thing rather than the love of the game?

A. I did my BA at a good private college (tier 1 but non-Ivy), studied abroad at a publicly funded school, took some graduate classes at a state university and finished my graduate study at an Ivy, so I think I have a pretty good comparison. -Good professors can be found everywhere. Field leaders can be found at Ivies and state universities, even secondary campuses at state universities. -Private universities generally have bigger endowments, which means they can often offer better facilities to their students. -Schools that are harder to get into have more motivated students. The class discussions tend to be better and the work is more intense. My advice to someone applying to college would be to go to the school that they get into, as… [cont.]
